NSW have no excuses - they have SUPERPROP waiting to come into the side. The wilting flowers will miss Robinson's work around the park though, especially his cleanouts at the ruck. Any word on whtether Hickey is going to go through on last week's 'plan' of resting Horne this week (which he said...

What's going on with the halfbacks this year? On a number of scrums the defending half has pushed his opposite as he was or was about to feed the ball into the scrum. In the Brumbies game (I think) Holmes (if it was the Brums) was short-armed by the ref for not feeding the ball when he had...

Yet he will still make Growden's 'Team of the Week' and be raved about. He was named as the FOXsports MOTM :nta: I couldn't figure out what he had done to deserve it myself. Who do you guys think deserved it?

Are you talking about the one that was still in the ruck?

From: http://www.rugbyheaven.com.au/news/news/look-who-wants-to-coach-in-the-nrl/2009/02/12/1234028208175.html So the axewound has openly come out and admit he loves league after years of forcing the Oz rugby team to try and play brumby-league.

NSW to show promise early in the season and be shown up for a lack of heart when it really counts.... Chiefs to have a slow start, great middle comp run and lose when a position in the semis beckons.... Matt Dunning and Morgan Turinui to go head to head in a pie eating contest at half-time of...

I've played every position on the field bar 9 and 10. Loved prop the most though, especially when my fellow front rowers were of a similar size (I hated it when I had to pack alongside shorter frontrowers).

PB, how long have the 'bok players been back in training? The 'boks seem to play till longer in the year and more games than everyone else which seems to hamper their preseason and hence early season form. Also, are their any rumours of friction in the Stormers camp regarding Luke Watson and his...

Ash, think the Reds will surprise everyone this year and make the semis. Think the other team to watch will be the Chiefs - has Foster learnt how to get them firing from the start or will it be a case of deja vu?

If the rumours are to be believed there is a strong push to reduce the number of clubs br kicking out Penrith and Southern Districts.

RW, I have said the same thing many times myself about training. I read somewhere that the All Blacks implemented individual-based training programs in 1987, though I am not sure if they continued this program or the next coach scrapped it. In professional rugby I cannot believe that this is not...

Hopefully they will offer him the same deal they offered Latho, it's only fair after all. Have the 'tahs signed a specialist goal kicker for this year or are they relying on Beale to do the kicking again?

I agree with Sully. I would hate to see him rushed back early only to injure himself again. I am hoping they won't rush him back into running but rather use the pool to help him build fitness and strength.

I am planning on going up to Newcastle to watch the trial game with the Fiji Warriors in a couple of weeks so I decided to look up the ticket prices - $20 cat 2 (must mean concourse seating) and $30 cat 1 (I am assuming grandstand). To me this defies the purpose of putting the game on in...

Sorry, I did mean 15....

Are you hanging up the boots then Nick? Any word on whether the Renegades will be fielding a 3rd grade side this year as my wife and I are looking to move into the Seven Hills / Blacktown area and was contemplating which club to play for.

Mitch Chapman riding the pine?

Think the idea of Quade at 10 has merit, especially with the ELVs as he could have the potential to be a real spark for the Reds counter attack and can always step into first receiver on the Reds own ball.

I am having mixed feelings about preseason training at the moment. Do I go on a diet and exercise and play lock or do I keep eating as much food as a medium size family, laze about on the couch and bulk up to play prop? Decisions, decisions .....

I think trials start around Australia Day with the S14 kicking off mid-Feb. Think Queensland are going to surprise a lot of people this year and make the semis.
